For our Northern Readers: Consider this!

With Oil prices still high what will it cost you to heat your home next winter? The alternative, enjoying the winter in FL. We have lived here for 5 years relocating from the northeast. We have never had the need to turn on our heat. With prices so low why not buy your winter hide away or year round residence in paradise. Of course, we do have some outstanding seasonal rentals if you are not prepared to take advantage of our current values. View our Kings Point Seasonal Rentals.

Why is NOW the best time to buy a home?

• It’s a buyer’s market. Price declines over the past year have made this the best time to buy.
• The inventory of homes for sale gives buyers incredible selection. The number of homes for sale is greater than it has been in 15 years.*
• Real estate continues to be a great financial investment. The average return on a five percent down payment over 10 years is usually three to five times greater than stock market returns.*
• The current favorable market conditions won’t last long. Research shows that prices are stabilized and price declines are over, Sun City Center has been removed from the declining market making it easier to obtain financing.*
• Mortgage rates are near all-time lows but are rising. Capturing these low rates now means your monthly payments are lower and much more affordable.*
• Recent voter approval of Amendment 1 allows Florida homeowners to transfer their “Save Our Homes” tax benefit from their old home to a newly purchased home. Upsizing or downsizing, this is the best time to buy.
